dress design for shabby apple dresses: #2

This is my second entry for Shabby Apple Dresses, but it's the first one that came into my head. I was reading someone's blog once and there was a picture of the wife in a shirt that had tiny ruffles at the shoulder of her shirt, and for some reason I couldn't stop looking at it. It was such a sweet little detail that I couldn't get it out of my head and it kept popping up on the dresses I was drawing.

I think this dress is super wearable. I imagined it in a comfortable knit, but I think it would also be really lovely in a chiffon/blousy type material. It would be pretty in a variety of colors: plum, a dusty pink, black.... In the knit I can see it being an easy, casual, every day kind of dress. I drew it with an extra layer peeking out of the hem which I find really cute. I want this dress. :)
